Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I really like "Have It" & "Believe It"
"Give Me Some Religion" - It'd be nice to see some of the stars on the flag!. It's a little dark!. If you were going for a silhouette, you need to go even darker!. This way it's caught in between!.
"We Have Ou History" - The spider web idea isn't coming through at all!. You have the clump of flowers on the right in focus and the rest is blurred!. to make this a better image, you should compose that focused clump of flowers on the right third of the image!. Where it is, it's too far to the right on the edge, making it unimportant!.!.!. thus making it look like an out of focus shot!.
"Christine" - lighten her face with a little flash fill to make her the focus!.
"Fountain" - Use a tripod and slow down your shutter speed!. This will let the flow of the water show in the image which would be more appealing!.
"Volcano" - The bright reflection is a distraction
"10" - Make your focus the large flowers in the front
"11" - Same as "10" but also crop out the clutter distractions in the background
"6" - The arm makes the individual unrecognizeable, which takes out your point of interest!. Try to get an angle where you can recognize the person, too!.
"7" - !?!?!? Not defined what your goal is with this one
"1" - Good with the focus & composition, but the highlights are slighlty blown out!. Could maybe adjust this with levels in Photoshop!.
"2" - NOT a flattering angle at all!.!.!.
"4" - Background is too distracting
"3" - Up your ISO and open your aperture more to let more light in
**Hope this is what you were looking for and hope it helps! The others are pretty good! Keep practicing, study the rule of thirds & learn more about composition!. And most importantly, always pay attention to your background and keep out distractions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love the faith picture, you got the depth of field perfectly!. Beauty is a good picture, but it might have been better suited to throw a polarizer on to get rid of the glair, but that only my opinion!. We have a history is a bad pic, i know you want to focus on the spider web, but the web is very unorganized so it doesnt look good!. your sunset pics are good!. THe rest are good but only average!.

A good idea with ferris wheels is to shoot at night with a tripod, but camera on bulb mode and shoot at f/22, and leave it open for a good minute, you get a very cool effectWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's all very pretty and easy on the eyes to look at, I'm not sure as far as constructive criticism I'm not a photographer but as a regular person looking at it it's very nice!. I'd say to just keep doing what you're doing and you'll gain more and more experience and it'll become even better :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok!.!.!.how's this for up front and honest!?
I think what's good is; that your angles, position and framing's are interesting!. For me, these are two of the stop and look factors in a photographic image!. You get up close, and your cropping adds drama
I think what's not so good is; it seems that you are letting the camera do too much of the work, get on top of all the settings your camera offers and you'll really reap the benefitsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your creative composition is what pulls you thru!. Some very interesting ones!. Read the "Golden Mean, or the "Law of thirds" also!. Nothing complicated there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

its amazing!.what camera do you use!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
